Multiple eBay accounts on my own name / details, can I use the same NI number for all
 

Hi. With eBay’s new hmrc rule is it ok to use the same NI number for multiple acoounts? I have 3 eBay accounts on the same name, 2 of which share the same bank account. Currently I have inputted my slightly wrong NI number onto one account. Can I do the same for when I’m prompted to do this on the other 2 accounts? And can I use the same mis-typed NI number or should it have to be completely different? Many thanks and any advice appreciated.

that would be a linking factor for them, but you should be okay as long as you maintain good selling performance in all of the accounts

I won't recommend doing that. You can allways try and let us know :pop2:

Ebay pass this info (whatever you submit) to HMRC alongside your name and address etc therefore it would be a letter from them about undeclared tax

what about if the NI number belonged to someone else?

It may be, but it'll be going to whoever is on the Stealth account. So irrelevant really.

Does the tax man really chase up the smaller sellers?

Re: Multiple eBay accounts on my own name / details, can I use the same NI number for
 

you read the topics here and you will quickly realize that the taxman will be chasing small sellers only and especially those with stealth accounts on ebay

I would not be surprised if they create a taskforce dealing with ebay only

If the accounts are in tour name, why not upload your valid NI info?

What should i expect to happen if I do that?

Re: Multiple eBay accounts on my own name / details, can I use the same NI number for
 

I've done it, and it's fine. Why would it be a problem? You can have multiple ebay account in your own details.

I already used a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ NI number on one of the accounts as per instructions on this site. Now I’m not sure if I should do that for the other accounts?

Re: Multiple eBay accounts on my own name / details, can I use the same NI number for
 

Why would you use made up NI details for a legit account? Makes no sense.

Re: Multiple eBay accounts on my own name / details, can I use the same NI number for
 

Makes perfect sense.

1. Who said it was a legit account?

and

2, so you do not link the accounts, one example, if you have had questionable VERO takedowns and are selling the same items on other accounts, you do not want to link them as then they will all fall. An NINO is more definite linking than a name.

Simple stuff, as you've never Stealthed, its worth learning a bit more.

1 - The title of the post is "Multiple eBay accounts on my own name / details, can I use the same NI number for all" That kind of game it away. I guess you didn't read that part?

2 - How is it? If you have the same name, DOB and address? Why would someone using there own details not use their own NI number? I've had Vero on multiple accounts in the same details no issue. Each one is counted differently on each account

I have stealthed. Again you are wrong. When have I said I haven't? I'm not stealthing now, as I don't need to You might want to check your facts mate...

Re: Multiple eBay accounts on my own name / details, can I use the same NI number for
 

1. No I didn't

2. To prevent easy linking as explained. NINO is new, it will take a while for them to use it to create linking, but they most certainly will when looking at accounts suffering multiple violations. VERO links on multiple accounts is often a take down of any related accounts if the same item is posted on each of them. All basic stuff. Each one is definitely not counted as differently on each account once they are linked. Sometimes we get lucky, sometimes we don;t, some of us don't want to rely on luck when we know how to manage it better.

3. You havent. If you had, you would know stuff, you know literally bare basics you learned from this site and then repeat stuff thats in your head and not a reality.

You have little relevance in contribution to anything in this field based on your posts, but I enjoy your twaddle.

You are a complete cock! You don't know what you are talking about, how do you know how they will use the NI details for linking? Just like how you know how HMRC will deal with the data they will now have?! You know nothing, so someone with accounts with the same name, address and dob won't be linked, but they will if they have the same NI number?! What a sack of ****! I have had that happen with Vero on different linked accounts so I know it doesn't cause an issue. Sorry I forgot you have been here for years under a different name..... If people on here want to believe your rubbish more fool them! The idiot who started this thread will likely lose their accounts for following this terrible advice. You have legit accounts, but don't use your real NI number, use a made up one! No wonder all the knowledgeable users don't post here know with muppets like you pretending to be the God Of Stealth!

same NIN for more than one person would not be allowed anyway

Oh dear.....:cheer:

Re: Multiple eBay accounts on my own name / details, can I use the same NI number for
 

You have to wonder about those using an NI generator, would the number potentially already in use by someone who's own number it is? Obviously its a huge pool of numbers, so the odds are low...

Have you tried running the same number twice for different names?

We havent had any failures of generated numbers yet. I guess we will see them crumble all at the same time when/if they get checked...you could be right about the Christmas period.

Re: Multiple eBay accounts on my own name / details, can I use the same NI number for
 

I have not tried , I also did not generate anything

but I can assure you that people using the same number for more than one person will get problems later because ebay can not send that information to HMRC , they are not obliged to verify it but they have to send information which is correct to their best knowledge
